Hanging Fruit

My fruit on snow still life paintings, something a bit different from the usual still life, is set in a bright light background of snow, and are all watercolor paintings. Of the following four artists, they all not only chose to hang their fruits for the still life, something a bit different from the usual still life, but they also chose dark backgrounds, all oil paintings, quite the contrast to fruit on snow watercolors.
